    check the fluid level if low will give you a jerk/delay in gear. if low refill and try it if works fine then find the leak and repair. don't use additives does more harm than good if these people saw what it does to the inside of the transmission they wouldn't recommend it. and do not do flush only fluid filter and change. also this might not be a trans problem might be a small engine problem we have seen this before when some think a trans and turns out to be a bad coil or something simular. find local shop at ATRA.COM

    You could have some serious transmission issue. However, when was the last time the transmission and motor mounts were replaced? Could be that simple.
